250 mini quad - motors for soft proformance

Posted by Richard Manley on October 13, 2014 at 10:32am

I am building a 250 mini quad for my nephew, and I am trying to decide on motors.  I am NOT looking to build a quick agile racer, I'm looking for more of a slow easy to fly quad.  

Would there be any difference in ease of flying between 1900KV & 2300KV motors?  

What are some of the advantages/disadvantages between motor sizes, besides price?

Thanks,

Rich

    If you use the standard 5X3 prop you will hover at a higher throttle with the 1900kV, I don't recommend it as you may not have a lot of overhead if you are carrying a payload.

    I am using 2150kV multistar motors, I hover at a little over 50% with a small payload (FPV gear and keychain camera).
